PURPOSE: Associate of Science in Education is designed for students who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university to complete their education in preparation for teacher licensure and employment as a teacher in a public or private school setting. The program consists of general education credits, credits in the major and elective credits. Electives should be selected in consultation with an advisor to ensure they will be accepted for the preferred program at the four-year institution to which students plan to transfer.
Students are required to participate in observation and practicum experiences in a school setting. A Criminal Record Clearance/Sex Offender Registry check and a tuberculosis test are required for placement. These are conducted at the student’s expense. Students should see the program head for a list of convictions that will prevent employment.
STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES:
- Describe ethical considerations of teaching practices related to technology use or classroom instruction.
- Develop and articulate a personal philosophy of teaching and learning aligned to the standards of the profession and grounded in educational theory and practice.
- Describe classroom climate and analyze the practicum classroom for strategies that address the needs of all students.
TRANSFER INFORMATION: The A.S. in Education is designed to provide transfer paths that will match the requirements of senior institutions (four-year colleges and universities). However, these institutions differ in their requirements, so students are recommended to work closely with their advisors for program planning and course scheduling. The responsibility for appropriate course selection rests with the student, and electives should be chosen to meet the requirements of the transfer institution. This degree is not intended for students who want to teach engineering education, special education, art, theater or music.
